Abstract (en)
[origin: US4563050A] An electrical connection adapter device is provided for making electrical connection between multiconductor plural-phase (4 or 5 conductor) cable and multiconductor single-phase cable (3 conductor). The adapter device includes an insulative member that has opposing sides adapted to be placed in juxtaposition with two cables to be interconnected. The insulative member supports a first set of insulation piercing contact elements in a fixed disposition at one side and a second set of insulation piercing contact elements on the other side. The first set of contact elements are adapted to be placed in registry with individual conductors of a first cable, such as the 3 conductor cable. The second set of contact elements are respectively conductively interconnected to the first set of contact elements and are movable relative to each other, such that at least one of the contact elements of the second set is selectively registrable with plural conductors of a second cable, such as a 4 or 5 conductor cable.
